To o~ Customers and the R@Hc:-The population Of Winston was about 4o when
our Mr. Iinshaw arrived here nineteen years. ago.. Since tn dy OF hsa arrival he
has done whatever he could to build up and develop the agricultural interests to
build u a home market for al. the products grown in this section nd to ad
in making country and town that would be the pride Of the State; he invested
the first money in the tobacco business an put up the first Tobacco Warehouse
built in Winston, and, in conjunction with others, held three successful Wheat
and Cattle Fairs here which resulted in a favorable revolution in wheat grs and
stock growing and caused Forsyth county to be tn banner county at the State
EXPOSITION. During the nineteen years he hasIh had a trade an patronage that he
is proud OF and to his customers he returns his thanks; Now with increased facl-
tiles increased capital AND accuratek knowledge Of the needs n wants of the
country, with a thoroughly organized and long established business, we feel that

UNION FOR WHAT

The intermittent shrieky appeals for
Democratic union " heard in some quar-.
tors have reference solely to the Offices.
Union upon principle, union to redeem
pledges, union to stop the surplus by reduc.
ing the war tariff, union in support of the
Presidents bold and statesmanlike message
this is indeed important. But the spoilsmen
never mention II.
Without such union the Democratic party
cannot retain power.
If the country want to perpetuate the wal
tayiff and to squander or divide" the
resultant surplus, it will naturally select
Republican agents to carry out the Republi-
can policy.
Let the Democratic union be for the good
of the country, md the offices will take care
Of themselves.

WHERE MUSICIANS CONGREGATE.
The Old Headquarters More Attractive
Than the Now Exchange.

The New York Musical Exchange, which
was organized in March, 1886, for the purpose
of promoting mt fostering the science of
music as we'll as furthering the interests of
its members, artistically, financially and
socially" as its constitution declares, has not
received that attention and patronage from
the musicians which it should have.
The Exchange has handsomely arranged
quarters at so East Fourth street, where q
bulletin is kept for members to post their
cards of address, announcing the instrument
they play. and whether disengaged, thus'en-
abling an applicant for musicians services to
see at q glance who are unemployed and Civ
ing him an opportunity of securing the play
ers that he may desire.
on the sidewalk in front of the saloons and
halls surrounding the Musical Mutual
Unions headquarters at GA East Fourth
street, between the Bowery and Second ave-
nue., and it was the design of the organizers
of the Exchange to furnish a better and more
convenient place for the transaction of bust
ness between the musicians and those who
require their services.
The rooms were opened with a great -four
ish, and, as one of the members said to-day,
there is a big crowd whenever a nice COLA
ton is served" But the members still stick
to the old stamping ground and the clean and
comfortable rooms of the Exchange are al
most deserted.
There is a great and unexplainable fascina-
ton about the musicians rendezvous in
Fourth street. It is there that the famous
A~schenbrodel. the musicians clubhouse.
the Musical Unions rooms and numerous
halls and saloons and restaurants are To-
Gated. And the idle or ~disengaged musician
likes to loiter there, and the cosy rooms q
block west, occupied as an exchange, are
comparatively unsought and deserted.
1t is required of musicians who wish to
join the Exchange that they be eighteen
years of age, of good moral character, and
members in good standing of the Musical
Mutual Protective Union.

EvOLUrIoNs OF THE HORSEPOWER.
Interesting Discovery OF n Scientific In
structor Mt the Metropolitan Museum.

Interesting Discovery OF n Scientific In
structor ut the Metropolitan Museum.
William Henry Goodyear, curator Of the
Department of Painting in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. has made some very import
ant discoveries which will be of the greatest
interest to art students and connoisseurs.
The official duties of Mr.. Goodyear and the
special studies he has made in ceramics
among the specimens of Cypriote property
in the Museum, suggested to him an idea
which further investigation has thoroughly
substantiated.
Mr.. Goodyear has found that the lotos-
flower, whose conventional transformations
have been detected in the decoration of the
Cypriote vases, is the fundamental art motif
in many of the conventional forms constantly
occurring in Egyptian, Assyrian, and, what
is still more interesting, in early Greek art.
The "Mycenm Epoch" which DR.. Schlie-
mann's Hellenic excavations have brought
into prominence, is also characterized by the
lotos-flower development in its decorative
features.
Mr.. Goodyear shows to demonstration that
the graceful forms which artists have drawn
from the lotos flower recur in the spiral and
concentric rings of the earlier art of Greece
I'M are the basis of the " geometric STYLE"
which is SO common in the Cypriote speci-
mems. Its connection is also shown with the
Egyptian Ankh, the symbol of life, and the
sacred triangle of Phpnician worship. the.
cruz ausdta OF the Arsyrian sacred tree the
echmus moulding Of Greek architecture.
sometimes v~ulgariy known as the egg and
dart" moulding, and lastly, but exhibiting
the most important phase of oil, its relation
to the Ionic capital and the Greek a%nthemion,
which comprises most of the palmetto and
spiral motives of Greek architecture.
Mr.. Goodyear's investigations and their re-
suits cannot fail to arouse the keenest atten-
ton from all who are interested in the
archaeological, chronological and scientific
of art. To those who merely care for
the aesthetic side of art production it matters
little if beauty is due to the evolution of the
HORSEPOWER form or are suggested by the
switching of her tail by the domestic cat.
Beauty is its own reward and justification
and needs no credentials to them.

MORAL TEACHING ON THE STAGE.

How little that clergyman knows of what
constitutes moral teaching who denounces
the play Of Faust" as given by HENRY
IRvrNo and ELLEN TERRY, as foul in its
morality"
The true devilishness of Satan was never
made SO plain in IN pulpit as it is in tho
Mephistopheles Of GOETHE as portrayed
by IRVING. The beauty and priceless value
Of virtue, and the terrible truth that, in
moral transgressions, consequences are I'M
plying" are portrayed and enforced In the
impressive object lesson Of Miss TERRY's
Marguerite as it is simply impossible: for
any sermon to present them.
The moral may be incidental, but II is
there. The Rev. Mr.. WARREN should see the
play.

A SILLY FALLAOY.

Really, the Tribune ought to have more re-
spect for the intelligence of its readers than

BLAINE, as an indignant American" pro-
testing against the Presidents desire to re-
lieve the bloody Britishers of " contributing

funny as anything in Puck.

MORE nF MOST.

Judge CowINa's grant of q stay of execu-
ton of the sentence of one years imprison-
due to any doubt as to the fairness of his
trial or the justice of the penalty.
The Judge granted the stay in order that
MOST, who is poor, may have oil the privi-
leges given to q rich capitalist"
1t is right that the privileges of all men
should be equal before the law. But trial by
jury is likely, as Judge CowINo intimated, to
become "a farce" if one convicted criminal
is able to secure q stay of sentence because
he is rich and it is granted to another because
he is poor.
Where does Justice catch on in such an
arrangement?

Dan Drisc0I Leaves His Cell for the First
Time Since He Tried to Escape.
For the first time since his attempted es-
cape Murderer Dan Driscoll's cell door
opened this morning and he was permitted to
step outside into the corridor of Murderer's
Row. This was a concession to the feelings
of Lawyer William F. Howe. who wanted to
talk with Driscoll, but objected to even a
temporary occupancy of a condemned cell.
Mr.. Howell had called to confer with Dris-
coll on the points to be used in the applica-
ton to be made in the Supreme Court on
Monday for a new trial on the ground of
newly discovered evidence.
Two keepers kept close to Driscoll during
the interview, which lasted fifteen minutes,
and in the meantime Warden Walsh and
Deputy Warden Finlay made q thorough
search of Driscoll's cell.
Sisters of Charity spend an hour each day
with Lyons and Driscoll, but are rather
churlishly received by the condemned men.
Lyons's father and Driscoll's wife also make
daily visits to the Tombs, but are not al
lowed to approach within two feet of the
barred doors of the cells.

HOW IT HAS WORKED,

An ounce Of solid fact is worth moro than
o whole gas-bag full Of buncombe in con-
sidoring the effect of the over-protection en-
bodied in the prolonged war tariff.
As q fact, ten out of the last twelve years
of Republican rule. under the highest
tariff in the world" were years Of business
depression and labor troubles.
There were never so many bankruptcies,
never so many strikes and %lockouts, never
such stagnation in business, never so much
suffering and discomfort among the working
Glasses as during most of the time from 1878
to 1885.
